This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in display devices, and the primary object of this invention is to provide a device especially adapted for displaying jewelry; I

' A still further object of the invention is to provide a device of the character above mentioned, which is collapsible and which may be readily set up for efficiently and attractively displaying ewelry and indicating the price thereof.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from a study of the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:

Figure 1 is a front elevationalview of the device, the same being shown in position for displaying jewelry.

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view taken substantially on the line 2'2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a fragmentary detail sectional elevational view showing the means for securing the abutting edges of the side wings together.

Figure 4 is a plan view of the blank from which the device is formed.

Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view through the device as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 6 is a fragmentary detail sectional view .through a portion of the top wall of the device showing the manner of suspending an article of jewelry therefrom.

With reference more in detail to thedrawings, it will be seen that the device is cut from a single blank of cardboard or other suitable flexible material, and of a shape shown to advantage in Figure 4. The blank is folded on two fold lines 5-5 converged inwardly from one edge of the blank to a common center whereby to provide a front wall 6 and substantially triangular side walls or Wings 7 adapted to be folded rearwardly with respect to the front wall, and have their free longitudinal edge disposed in abutting relation whereby the walls 6 and 7 provide a body substantially triangular in cross section and tapering toward the upper end thereof. One of the side wings 7 adjacent the free longitudinal edge is provided with slits 8, while the other of the side wings 7 1931. Serial no. 54min:

adjacent its free edge is provided with suitable locking tongues 9 insertable through and engageable with the slots or'slits 8 for securing the device in assembled relation as suggestedin Figures 1 and 5. I

- The front wall 6 also tapers toward its upper. end and merges into an upstanding.

pressed outwardly therefrom upper and low-' er pairs of spaced opposedretaining fingers {,card supporting extension 10 that has 12 on the outer face thereof is adapted to have marked thereon the price of the jew elry, or other indicia relative to the articles displayed on the device. a

The portion of the device-formed by the front wall 6 and the side wings 7 provide a suitable support about which may be draped a necklace or the like as shown in Figure 1.

The front wall 6 has suitably located therei on suitable apertures 13 for the reception of elry as suggested at 15.

From the foregoing then it will be seen as brooches, necklaces and which is also provided with means for displaying indicia relative to the articles'on display.

Even though I have herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the in-v vention, it is to be understood that the same is susceptible of further changes, modifications and improvements coming within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. As a new article of manufacture, a combined display stand and sign support formed from a single blank of flexible material and including a front portion having correspondingly shaped integral upper and lower sections, a pairof wings foldable back from the sides of the lower sections, the lower front clasps or hooks'14 forming part of such jewsection and wings beinghinged together on lines that converge toward that end of said lower front sectionmergingwith the upper front section, said upper front section having opposite inclined edges merging with the hinge lines at the converging ends of said hinge lines pairs of opposed card engaging fingers on said upper front sections and arranged to support an indicia bearing card having substantially the same general configuration of said upper front section.

2. A display stand including in combinain tion a base having a side section tapering to I a relatively small end as it continues from the bottom to the top of the base, said section continuing upwardly beyond the top of the base and inversely increasing in width asit approaches its upper extremity vertically spaced pairs of opposedsign card retaining elements on the upper extended portion of said side sections, the retaining elements of the lowerpair being ofiset inwardly towards 29 one another from the planeof the retaining elements of the upper pair, and a sign card of substantially the same configuration as the upper extended portion of said side sec tion insertible between the fingers longitu-. 25 dinally of said side section. v

In testimony whereof'I' affix my signature. v DOUGLAS Z. PETERS.-
